Ziepniekkalns
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ziepniekkalns is a neighbourhood of Riga, Latvia. It is located in the Pārdaugava section of Riga close to city's southern border. Ziepniekkalns is the newest out of all Riga's neighborhoods.
It was built in the very late 1980s and early 1990s and mostly consists of Soviet-built 9 story apartment buildings. However, there are still many older buildings in Ziepniekkalns constructed in the early 1960s. There is a major contrast between older 3 story buildings and newer 9 story ones.
In the mid 1990s, route 19 trolleybus was extended to the heart of new Ziepniekkalns and now terminates at the Nelda supermarket.
